German gaming site GameStar.de sends word
that Unreal Tournament 2003 and Command & Conquer: Generals have each
been placed on Germany's "index" of games that cannot be sold to
minors or even publicly advertised or displayed in that country. At this point it
is not clear whether the version of UT2003 placed on the index is the original
game, or the updated version that Epic's Steven Polge recently mentioned was in the
works to avoid just this eventuality (story). Update:
German site GamesWeb
sends word that the indexing of C&C Generals is still considered temporary
at this point, and a final determination of this game's fate in Germany is yet
to be handed down.
